Are you saying that any argument based on data imports is irrelevant to the
choice of licence?
What, then, would be an admissible reason for not using <licence>, in your view?
In my opinion, the license must be chosen according to what's best for
the project in the long term; short term considerations should not apply.
Admissible reasons for not using <license> would be, for example, that
<license> doesn't work, isn't enforcable, leaves too much doubt, runs
the risk of sidelining OSM in the long run, or such. "We already have
some data that is not compatible with <license>" is not one of them.
